Multiple dev's have discussed & posted possible "balance changes" (nerfing them both to useless) coming in the final patch on 3.0 release day, or last beta wave patch (day before 3.0 release day), to both Kinetic Blast and Barrage. It's because Kinetic Blast was the AOE skill being abused to land massive DOT/Chaos/Poison/Double-Dipping damage and Barrage was the skill being abused the same way but for single-target damage. As it stands, KB and Barrage are both still the pure highest damage output sources for both those uses after all the nerfs, but now the dev's have reversed their last round of balance changes, boosted other things and only patially nerfed other area's they had planned on nerfing. So who the heck knows what they will do with all of this in the next 3.5 days?

Nothing confirmed yet but KB is mentioned in the Algorithm Patch notes post so, at the very least something in terms of KB will be changing in the FoO patch, we'll have to wait for them to drop to see if it's a build killer or something simple.

NO RIP! It just sounds bad because of the way the patch notes were written.

Rory confirms that KB is not nerfed (at least not for pack clearing):

"This change shouldn't affect any of the content in the game prior to the Fall of Oriath - This change was only to prevent gigantic monsters (Like the final Act 5 boss) being damaged by both the initial projectile and all of the explosions. Every hit from a Piercing projectile is its own set of explosions that can damage anything except for the hit at the centre, just as if nothing had changed."

Really a shame how this build turned out, with all the flask nerfs. Would have been an awesome league starter.
